Japanese Garden

20 Comments

Penticton’s lovely little Japanese garden isn’t showing yet many signs of autumn, but there’s something about the fading of the colours that are signalling it.

The trees on the adjacent path also seem to be indicating the same.

But right now, the weather is wonderful and there’s no forest fire smoke, so I plan to enjoy it as much as possible.

Happy Tuesday.

    1. You’re welcome . Yes, I’ve very much enjoyed Tricia’s lovely garden photos. I like them as well, and we’re fortunate to have this small one very nearby. It’s very tranquil and calming.

  4. Autumn may not be there, but the dusty greens foreshadow it. Glad you are getting clear air Lynette. Enjoy your Tuesday. Allan

    1. Thank you, Allan. I agree. There’s a subtle colour change. I also saw some heat- stressed trees this morning. Their leaves aren’t turning; they’re just drying up and falling off, so our colours this year might not be as great.

    1. Hahaha. 😁 In this case, there might be. Ikeda has been a “sister city” of Penticton for 45 years now with yearly exchanges and many other connections, apparently. I’m thinking the Canadian garden should have sugar maples. 😉

  8. Good call! I’ve always enjoyed the transition periods between the seasons. The leaves will start changing colour before you know it. We got our first glimpse of fall while in the Yukon for the past couple of weeks.

    1. It’s a beautiful time to be in Yukon, too, as once it starts to get cold, the temperature drops quickly. I hope you enjoyed (are enjoying) your visit. The weather here in Penticton is so gorgeous right now, especially in the mornings. Not cool yet but very comfortable and wind still, as if everything is resting.

      1. We just left the Yukon a few days ago and spent the weekend in Jasper. We’re currently in Edmonton and are flying home later this morning. This last week has been much cooler overnight, but the days have still been warm. We really lucked out with the weather and seemed to avoid any of the rain.

        1. That’s great! I love Jasper and always tried to spend a bit of time there on our regular drives to and from the north. It’s usual for the temperature to be going down to about 5 or 6 overnight at this time of year in that region. Looking forward to your posts about your trip, Linda. Safe travels.

          1. Even though we spent some time in Jasper last summer, I couldn’t resist adding a few extra days to our trip just so we could return. It dropped to around freezing overnight, which made it tough to get up in the mornings. But it was great for hiking! We flew back home yesterday and now it’s back to the daily grind.

          2. I don’t think you can have too many visits to Jasper. 🙂 It’s good that the temperature is dropping that low since that will slow down the fires, but yes, also pretty great for hiking. It’s such a good time of year for hiking/long walks. Too bad about the grind – I definitely understand!
